Many incident investigations are unable to identify the real root cause of an incident. As OSHA begins to require that copies of the 301 be submitted annually, doing so is becoming even more critical. How effective are your investigations in preventing future incidents? OSHA strongly encourages employers to investigate all the incidents when workers are hurt, as well as near misses.

As per the OSHA Safety and Health guidelines, investigating an incident at work — a fatality, injury, illness, or near miss— gives employers and workers the opportunity to identify hazards in workplace and gaps in their safety and health programs. Most importantly, it allows employers and employees an opportunity to identify and implement the corrective actions.
